What I realize more and more is that the end-users wants to be In Control . This applies especially with new developed applications that automates some of their work. By default users are skeptic. The application have to earn their trust. The more they get the feeling they are not in control, the less...

This post of Tim Heuer is something I completely agree with! So if you’re a developer and you work with designers, you do need to read this… Since we appear to be in another revolution on user interface (UI) design and user experience (UX), I’ve seen a lot of people, companies, sites refer to...

Just subscribed to the next Devnology meeting. This one will be an expert meeting. Normally Devnology is all about communication and sharing experiences and knowledge, but this evening Rob Vens will be speaking about Re-inventing programming.

Last Friday I was at the SDN Event in Houten , where I followed several UX tracks, and spoke with the speakers afterwards. I was trying to find out how they worked with Designers and Developers and the technique’s Silverlight and WPF. And almost everybody agreed (except Kevin McNeish for some reason...

Now this got me puzzled today for some time. I started up Visual Studio 2008 and opened a solution I had been working on for some time. But when trying to debug the application, it threw an error on Unity and the SerivceLocator trying to get an instance of a class. Not an interface, a class. It had no...

I just read an interesting article on Bertrand Le Roy's blog. The most important information: It so happens that the menu control is making a bad assumption on what the default value for z-index should be.

When it comes to “good” and “bad” in User Experience Design, it’s all about making compromises. There are influences from marketing, management, development, design, sales, support, etc. In other words, almost every role or department within the development cycle has it’s own agenda on want they want...

I got sick of manually attaching to the webserver (either aspnet_wp.exe on WinXP or w3wp.exe on Win2003 or later). You can have a macro for that, incl. a shortcut key. I got this from somewhere on the web, but forgot where. If I find out, I’ll of course post it here. But I constantly have to search my...
